Neck Therapy in Cambridge

Neck Pain Physiotherapy in Cambridge

Are you grappling with headaches, neck stiffness, or tingling/numbness in your hands? There's a singular solution for all these symptoms. Neck-related conditions are prevalent across all age groups, often stemming from poor posture. Here are common conditions associated with these symptoms:

Common Conditions

1. Cervical Disc Diseases: A degenerative joint disorder caused by cartilage breakdown between neck vertebrae. Known as cervical compression, it's primarily due to age-related wear and tear, repetitive strain, or trauma. Nerve compression in the cervical spine can result in arm, hand, or finger numbness.
2. Cervical Spine Stenosis: A severe condition compressing the spinal cord, reducing foramina space. Fatigue and loss of muscle strength in both hands are red flags.
3. Headaches: Tight neck muscles are a leading cause of headaches. Continuous muscle tension can trigger episodic or persistent headaches.
4. Stiff Neck: Poor work environments, like desk jobs, dentistry, or tailoring, can lead to poor neck posture, causing muscle tightness and weakness.

Causes:

• Poor body posture
• Unhealthy work environments (e.g., desk jobs, tailoring, dentistry)
• Age-related degenerative changes in the spine

Signs and Symptoms

• Stiff neck with difficulty in movement
• Pain with neck movement
• Tenderness over the neck region
• Fatigue and muscle weakness (loss of grip)
